Walter:
Thanks for bringing this article to my attention.
Are you saying that MathCAD interfaces better with Excel than Mathmatica or
that it is cheaper and adequate?
I was surprised to hear that Excel doesn't have built in matrix utilities.
You are correct on this.
Excel graphing features are very good and easy to use. I'm using Excel 2000
and I am impressed with its capabilities.
Thanks again.
